Mr. Nobody /

Mr. Nobody is a 2009 Belgian science fiction drama film directed by Jaco Van Dormael, starring Jared Leto, Diane Kruger, Linh Dan Pham, Sarah Polley, Natasha Little, Rhys Ifans and Daniel Mays. In the year 2092, the one hundred eighteen year old man Nemo Nobody, the last mortal alive after humans have become ‘telomerized’ and achieved quasi-immortality, is recounting his life story to a reporter. Although less than clear, oftentimes thinking he is only thirty-four years of age, he tells his life at three primary points: at age nine, when his parents get divorced; at age fifteen, when he fell in love; and at age thirty-four, living his adulthood - all three unravelled into many other realities in a nonlinear narrative. The plot also makes deep use of various scientific elements, such as the Big Bang theory, the Superstring theory, the Many-worlds interpretation and the concepts of telomeres and parallel universes. Belgian director Jaco Van Dormael began seeking to film Mr. Nobody in 2001, an attempt that lasted six years before the director was able to make his English-language feature debut in 2007.
